Tommy used to work on the docks Union's been on strike He's down on his luck...its tough, so tough Gina works the diner all day Working for her man, she brings home her pay For love - for love
She says we've got to hold on to what we've got cause' it doesnt make a difference, if we make it or not We've got each other, and that's a lot For love - we'll give it a shot
Chorus: Whooah, we're half way there Livin' on a prayer Take my hand and well make it - I swear Livin' on a prayer
Tommys got his six string in hock Now he's holding in what he used To make it talk - so tough, its tough Gina dreams of running away When she cries in the night Tommy whispers baby its okay, someday
We've got to hold on to what we've got cause' it doesnt make a difference, if we make it or not We've got each other, and thats a lot For love - we'll give it a shot
Chorus: Whooah, we're half way there Livin' on a prayer Take my hand and well make it - I swear Livin' on a prayer
Chorus: We've got to hold on ready or not You live for the fight when its all that you've got
